And appears to be part of the heating element itself now that I see that part in the list.

So that suggests it might again be the bias stat. What should I read from this? It has 4 posts that I call North/South and East/West. NS is red wired and EW is purple wired.

When disconnected NS has continuity (goes to zero) and EW lands around 7.

Everything else seems to have continuity. For the plain stats I direct-connected them (for testing only) and that didn't get the element to come on. It'd be great to fix this as I'm between jobs and spending $150 for PSE&G to come out to fix it would hurt right now.

The bias stat has two fat load carrying wires( for element) and 2 small non load carrying wires, the 2 small wires are for the bias heater inside the stat. The timer sends down power and heats up the stat to make it shut down faster for knits and perma press cycles. The bias heater won't show continuity brand new.

About the icons: The beer is tip link, if a tech saves ya some money buy em a 6 pack. The small green square=personal message. The green dot is a link to my web page on appliance repair and other general BS I love to post. The letter sends me email.I love fan letters! LOL

If that fuse blow then that dryer has no life. The wires on the fuse are not load carrying. They are in series with the door switch. When she blows it is like that hatch is open. Nothing more. Clever ain't it?

At this point I'm still not sure what the consensus is as to the problem. Doesn't sound like it's the fuse as I have power, just no heat. The stats are all zeroing (showing continuity). Just not sure about the bias one.
